FREE Excerpt: Quilted Boxes

"I like looking at wallpaper sample books because there are so may colors and patterns."

Here’s what you need before you begin:

• wallpaper sample books
• scissors
• tray filled with water
• assorted boxes
• sponge

Adult help:

All adults have to do is admire your creative designs.

Follow these easy steps:

1. Soak several wallpaper pieces in water for 1 minute.
2. Shake off extra water.
3. Place wet wallpaper on box and use a sponge to smooth in place. The pre-pasted glue on the back of the wallpaper will stick on the box.
4. Cover small boxes and use as storage containers for hair clips, pencils, or craft items. Let it dry.
   
   Tips: For large scale fun, get a big appliance box and put it outside. Cover the box with pieces of wallpaper for a colorful fort.
